<p>In July 2017, we announced our intention to consult on reforming the Gender Recognition
Act 2004. We are currently considering the content of the consultation, and we will
be publishing the consultation in due course. The consultation will run for at least
12 weeks.</p><p>We have been using the time since announcing our intention to consult,
to analyse the responses from transgender people who responded to our National LGBT
survey. In this survey, we asked about the views and experiences of transgender people
who have applied for a Gender Recognition Certificate under the GRA. We will publish
the results of this survey shortly.</p><p>Ahead of the consultation launch, we have
also begun engaging with a wide range of people and organisations. These organisations
include transgender, LGBT, women’s rights and faith groups.</p><p>The Government recognises
that there are a wide range of views on how we might reform the Act. It has been valuable
to hear these different voices prior to the consultation and we will continue to engage
with stakeholders before, during, and after the consultation.</p><p>We are also working
across Whitehall to ensure we fully understand what impact there could be from any
reform to the Gender Recognition Act.</p>
